I hate to come home and park on the street. It fits two cars and my husband is usually home before me. I think people who are visiting should not park in the driveway. Even if the person has been visiting for over six months(mother -in law getting a divorce). I am the last to leave in the morning and the last to arrive home at night. Am i wrong for not liking that?

just try to bring it up i don't understand why adults are all "oh i can't say anything or someone will get pissed off"
if someone dose get pissed then its not your fault for expressing your feelings its your property if they are really worth your time in life then they will fix your problem

If it is someone who frequently visits like your mother in law, please ask them nicely to park in the street next time so that you don't have to move your car later. But your mom in law might take offense to this. Leave out big orange cones in the driveway for a couple of weeks and let people take the hint. I totally understand where you are coming from. I hate it when people park in my driveway when a perfectly good street is 10 feet away.

I do think it's rude, impolite, and inconsiderate for someone other than the family who resides in the home to park in the driveway.
You should discuss this with your husband, and agree to come up with a plan to ask the "offenders" to please park on the street.
Sometimes I am sure you come home from work with groceries, and such, and could use your own driveway to unload your car.
You're not wrong, and don't let anyone convince you that you are!

I would tell your husband this. He needs to tell people that come over while you are at work to park behind him so you will be able to park. Or when you come home park and then when its time for your guest to leave then pull out of the driveway and let that person leave and then pull back in.

Yes tell your guests to move their car and not to park there because the 2 spots are reserved for you and your husband ONLY.
When i visit my friends house i park in the street because she has a small 2 car only driveway too.

I suppose you're not wrong for not liking it (although as the whole purpose of a driveway is for parking, I don't know why you're surprised that she parks there), but you're wrong for being mad about it unless you've actually asked her not to do it. Do you expect her to read your mind?

I can't take it. I will lower the air of the four tires at least. I have blow the a tire one time that happen to me. They should show some respect and park in the street.

You are not wrong. It is your house. Make the rules and ask firmly but politely for things to change. Don't say would you park somewhere different. I need for you to park somewhere different.
